Three key NFL games this Sunday include the Eagles visiting the Panthers, the Bears taking on the Falcons, and the Saints going against the Giants. The Eagles, on a three-game losing streak and missing quarterback Jalen Hurts due to injury, are desperate for a win to avoid falling to 2-4. The Panthers, coming off a bye, have shown inconsistent performance this season.
